One would have allowed people to have a gun anywhere in avehicle, visible or not. The governor said the measure would haveneedlessly made traffic stops by police officers more dangerous.She also vetoed another bill which to forbid police from chargingpeople with illegally carrying a concealed weapon if any portionof the gun were visible. She said exposure of a small corner of agun handle doesn't inform police or the public the person isarmed. That makes five vetoes of gun bills this year alone. Butgubernatorial press aide Jeanine L'Ecuyer said that doesn'trepresent Napolitano's views on the right to bear arms.

(The governor has, in general, been quite supportive of gunrights. The vetoes were well reasoned. She gave her reasons.Frankly, the NRA thinks kindly of her and has for a long time.)

But Todd Rathner, a board member of the National RifleAssociation, said the record this session speaks for itself.

(We have to question whether she hasn't turned her back on gunowners. And I don't know if it's because she's a lame duck or ifshe's just not worried about holding statewide office anymore.I'm not really sure.)

Rathner said that Napolitano, who got a C-minus from the NRAbefore her 2006 reelection bid, probably will get an F the nexttime around.
